Poll: Open Archives
Added 2018-05-31 20:40:47 +0000 UTCBeen thinking that I might be able to attract more patrons if they were able to sample the wares around here a bit more easily. I've also always been a little uneasy with the idea of eternally walled content. Now that Patreon supports the feature, I'm experimenting with making private posts public automatically after 30 days. I'd love to know what you think.

In lieu of restating this as my own opinion I'm just +1-ing this one.

2018-06-01 17:35:21 +0000 UTCI started supporting your Patreon so that your public page could be rewarded. It doesn't make sense to have walled content!

2018-06-01 17:35:15 +0000 UTCLet them pay like we do. Maybe post a tease haiku, wallpaper, and comic to entice them to pledge to you. I think you'll lose pledges if you give it free after a month. You put out enough free stuff to have walled off content so don't feel guilty! I voted NO if this post doesn't make my feelings obvious.

2018-06-01 15:40:26 +0000 UTCI want more content. I don't want my own content. Fuck early access.

2018-06-01 15:32:48 +0000 UTCI think I may be detecting a bit of a trend in the poll results :) As everyone else is saying, do what you think will work best for you :)

2018-06-01 14:13:42 +0000 UTCWhatever you think will work best for you is fine by me. Open half the posts and reserve the other half; share everything; it’s all good.

2018-06-01 07:18:21 +0000 UTCI agree with others. Jonathan, I support you because I like your work and I think you are worth supporting. It doesn't diminish my support of you to let others see the content. Moreover, if it convinces others to become patrons, then you get more support, and I want that to happen.

2018-06-01 06:31:00 +0000 UTCI do the same on my patreon, though not always 30 days, sometimes it is only 7 or 10.
